Greenwood mall shooting

[DoggyDaddy]

He should be thanking the citizen who responded...

Like Braun did... The difference was noted by me.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I tried it once. It sucked.

This young man's heroic efforts are endless. He pushed his girlfriend out of the line of fire saving her life before he engaged the mass murderer.

Don's Guns used to be right betwen Polo Apt. and G'wood Mall. I lived in it when it was King's Mill, right behind the range.

Yes! When I duck-ducked Polo Run I saw the street name with King's Mill in it and I remembered that was what it used to be. It had been getting "rough" for awhile I think.

Butane for the laptop or for a final bang?

Well he was trying to get rid of data evidence between his phone and laptop. Maybe something will be found.

The site is ok with orange. And noncorrosive ammo is on store shelves so it doesn't have to be rinsed out. And of course they are inexpensive and powerful. The collector ones aren't stamped and as good a shape mine was in, it was another one on the pile.

My first was a Polish TT-33 and it was gorgeous. My replacement is a Romanian and it's just okay aesthetically. Shoots good though!

All my ammo is noncorrosive now. Sold all my corrosive stuff to another INGOer when I got rid of the TT-33.

There is another positive side effect of Eli's actions that I had not anticipated. The media is hungry to share his story and that's currently more interesting than giving infamy to the murdering dirtbag.

So why is there absolutely no mention of the highly trained and responsive mall security that Simon Properties has to protect their customers? Absolute perfect example why you are your best defense.

 

[Yup!]

But how do they plan on sharing it? Like they did Rittenhouse's story? I hope not, but I'm feeling pretty jaded and cynical.

Some antis are now insisting on calling Eli an "armed bystander" only, not a hero or anything else. Ironically when people really are only "armed bystanders" these people call them violent and threatening.

Exactly how I remember Greenwood mall security

there are definitely some people who feel any of us who carry are inciting violence, wanting violence etc. In this case, the public in general is not buying it. People who were there are praising him including the mother of the 12 yr old girl who was injured.

We need more armed actors and less "phoned bystanders".

I agree that that is great, but it seems like the farther away from Indiana the reporters are, the less favorable the story gets. But then again, we have Shannon Watts.

These people will do anything to try and downplay his role in saving countless lives because they hate that he was a good guy with a gun that saved lives. It flies in the face of their narrative that all gunowners are evil and they only commit violent acts.

Haven’t seen this benefit mentioned. Future nut bag mass shooters, and there will be more, may avoid Indiana and possibly other constitutional carry states because of this.

unfortunately most of our schools are still soft targets

A good guy with a gun, carrying without a permission slip no less! Guessing Doug Carter is looking like this about now...

If he was an armed bystander just taking cellphone videos he would be dead along with countless others. He took action with a firearm and not a cellphone and countless lives were saved.
